Given the following equation: 8 Fe + S 8  8 FeS What mass of iron, Fe, is needed to react with 16.0 grams of sulfur, S 8 ?

Explanation:

so u can work out the amount of moles of S8 by using

moles=mass/mr

=16/32.1=0.498moles

then use the molar ratio of

S : Fe

1:1 so the moles of Fe is the same 0.498

The use the equation

mass = mr x moles

=55.8 x 0.498

=27.78

so 27.8 g

hope this make sense :)

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
